Stadio Silvio Piola

Key facts

History and description

Stadio Silvio Piola was built in the 1970s. The stadium officially opened on 18 January 1976. A few days later, Novara played their first match at the stadium against Juventus (2-1).

The stadium was initially generically called Viale Kennedy, after the street it was on, but received its official name in 1997. Silvio Piola, all-time top scorer of the Serie A, played the last seven seasons of his career in the shirt of Novara.

In 2010, Novara installed an artificial pitch at the stadium, and after the club promoted in 2011 it was – together with Cesena – the first club with an artificial pitch in the Serie A.
